Nitrite pollution poses a serious threat to human health and the environment. In this study, a reliable and selective electrochemical (EC) sensor was developed for the quantitative determination of nitrite by combining flower-like three-dimensional (3D) MoS microspheres with two-dimensional (2D) CN nanosheets. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of MoS and CN, the 3D MoS/2D CN nanocomposite displayed numerous active sites, a 3D mesoporous structure, high conductivity and excellent catalytic activity.

Objective: To analyze the distribution and trend of MDROs and provide a reference for hospital infection control.
Methods: Collected data on MDROs infections among inpatients in a Grade III Level A hospital in Suzhou from 2015 to 2021, including drug-resistant bacteria strains and specimen sources, etc.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of childhood socioeconomic status (SES) on depressive symptoms in individuals aged 45 and older in China, finding that higher childhood SES correlates with fewer depressive symptoms in middle-old age.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 17,000 participants using various analytical methods, revealing that factors such as gender, adult SES, and childhood adversity also influence depression levels.
- Life satisfaction was identified as a partial mediator between childhood SES and depressive symptoms, suggesting that enhancing life satisfaction could help reduce depression in older adults.
Effect of Health Literacy on Decision Delay in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Front Cardiovasc Med
November 2021
Health literacy (HL) is a risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease, and shorter pre-hospital delay time is crucial for successful treatment of acute myocardial infraction (AMI) patients. Most previous studies focused on the influencing factors of pre-hospital delay but ignore the essential contribution of decision delay. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effect of HL on decision delay.

- - The study investigates how Chinese adults use the internet and its connection to their sleep patterns, as most existing research has focused on children and adolescents.
- - Data from 19,730 participants were analyzed, revealing that less than 20% used the internet, primarily through mobile phones, with an average participant age of 56 years.
- - The findings suggest that while internet use is linked to longer sleep duration, it does not significantly impact short sleep duration after accounting for other factors.
Association between health literacy and mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Arch Public Health
July 2021
Background: To identify the relationship between health literacy (HL) and mortality based on a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Literature published from database inception until July 2020 was searched using the PubMed and Web of Science databases, using relevant keywords and clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search was limited to English language articles.
Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) world pandemic, it has had a significant negative impact on the economy and employment. The orderly resumption of work and production is an important factor in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 and an important guarantee of social and economic stability. The study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) of people returning to work about personal protection under the COVID-19 world pandemic.

- Learning burnout is a significant concern for Chinese medical students, both undergraduates and postgraduates, and research indicates that problematic smartphone use may contribute to this issue.
- A study conducted with 1,800 students from a medical university in Chongqing found that excessive smartphone use is linked to increased learning burnout, with psychological capital playing a mediating role in this relationship.
- The research highlights the need for strategies to reduce smartphone dependency and enhance psychological resilience, which could help mitigate learning burnout among medical students in China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and patterns of comorbidity among middle-aged and elderly people in China, highlighting a gap in current research that often focuses on single chronic diseases.
- Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, the research found that 42% of the 6754 participants reported having at least one chronic condition, with common diseases including hypertension, arthritis, and digestive issues.
- The findings suggest that hypertension is frequently part of various disease combinations, indicating a need for improved screening and preventive measures for chronic diseases among older adults.

- - The study investigated how childhood trauma affects alexithymia (difficulty in identifying emotions) among medical students in China and whether psychological capital (an individual’s positive psychological resources) plays a mediating role in this relationship.
- - Researchers surveyed 1,200 medical students using established questionnaires, finding that 16.5% exhibited alexithymia and identified a significant positive correlation between childhood trauma and alexithymia, with psychological capital partially mediating this effect.
- - The findings suggest that addressing psychological capital could be a potential intervention to mitigate alexithymia in medical students, highlighting the need for support systems in healthcare education.
